Sign-up is anytime starting at 11 am, the latest time you can sign up is 1 pm. Entry is $40. It gives you 12 tickets to qualify on 5 machines(just like Showdown). As of right now those machines are HSII:TG, JB, JM, Whirlwind and Williams Grand Prix. There are no buying extra tickets. That’s it. A soft cut off will be at 6:00pm, try to be done or down to 1 ticket. Hard cut off at 7, drain your balls immediately and we will record your score. If you flip 1 extra time the score won’t count. Once this round is over the top 8 qualifiers will be done for the day and are in the the finals on Sunday with the rankings of 1-8.

The rest of ya, 9-??? are then going to entered into a head to head bracket with seeding based on your qualifying score. These matches will be played on all games at C-Bar and will be best 2 of 3 single elimination. Once there are 8 players left congratulations, you 8 have made it to the next day.

At this point those 8 will continue there heads up matches for 1 more round, but it will be a single game match. Then the 4 winners will play one 4 player game to determine the 9-12 rankings for the finals. The 4 losers from the head to head matches will do the same for 13-16 rankings. Higher seed will have choice of machine or position for this one game.
